Anglers a still catching steelhead, but the numbers are getting lower. With lowering water most anglers are starting to focus lower down below the dam, but we do still see a few anglers above.

Anglers who catch a hatchery winter steelhead are encouraged to turn in the snouts at one of the collection barrels found at many boat ramps throughout the Umpqua watershed or the ODFW office. Snout submissions that contain a tag are entered into a monthly raffle for a $50 gift certificate to Sportsman’s Warehouse. Please make sure to indicate the harvest location on the provided slips if submitted in a location other than where it was harvested.
